摘要
Some scintillation characteristics of CdS(Te) have been investigated. The scintillation emission spectrum of CdS(Te) single crystals is situated in a band between 560 and 800 nm with maximum at 640 nm. The light yield of this red emitting crystal on a mus time scale is rather large: approximately 1.7.10(4) photons per MeV of absorbed gamma-ray energy. The scintillation light can be efficiently detected with silicon photodiodes; results are presented. Main decay time components of 270 ns and 3.0 mus were measured. The scintillation mechanism and the application of the material is discussed. Also some data regarding a similar system, ZnSe(Te), are presented.
